Dave, Last night I went home with tears in my eyes. It must have been looked quite obvious, because a woman who didn’t know me stopped and asked if I was okay. It was after 10pm and we were on the subway, quite an unusual situation. I got home, cried some more, and started working …

When Dave Vasey confronted me at the beginning of the last Occupy Toronro Action Committee meeting we had an agreement that I would post my letter to the people of OT to each committee through the mailing lists. Then, when it came time to send out my mail I noticed I was banned- despite the …

Censored! A Letter to the People of Occupy Toronto

Here’s a letter I posted to all of the people at Occupy Toronto- that is, all of those who I could reach. It seems, unfortunately, that some of the people who consider themselves as leaders in our leaderless organisation have decided to practice conviction without trial. So, contrary to our agreement, they blocked my ability …

Conflict of Interest: Civil Liberties and Politicians Don’t Mix

By grenouf in #KeepingItClassy, Anti-Poverty Committee, BCCLA, Black Bloc, British Columbia, Canada, Christy Clark, Conspiracy, David Eby, DTES, Harsha Walia, NDP, Olympics, Politics, Stimulat0r, Vancouver, Violence, VPD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wd7vUOCE8M?rel=0&w=560&h=315 I’m currently researching an essay on the politicization of Civil Liberties Associations. Today I found an interesting video by Stimular0r interviewing Laurence Hildes, the head of the National Lawyers Guild. The video discusses David Eby’s denouncement of the Heart Attack incident during the Olympics.

David Eby: Politician, or Civil Libertarian? (And why he needs to resign..)

I was talking with a couple of people this morning who mentioned that someone had sent an email around Occupy Toronto that was trying to do some ‘damage control’ on my last blog entry. I’ve not seen the letter but I’ve been told that, as usual, Eby’s protectorate were trying to frame him as being …

Welcome Media Co-Op Readers! (Do they receive Government Funding?)

It appears that Media Co-Op has linked to my site! This organization is one of Canada’s foremost producer of violence inciting media. Something to be proud of! (if you are a Black Bloc terrorist…) Media Co-Op is most famous for filming Harsha Walia’s racist & sexist hate video a filmed at Irwin Oostende’s rave club/media …

Police Caught as Agent Provocateurs/Black Bloc in Montebello

By grenouf in #KeepingItClassy, Adam Smolcic, Anti-Poverty Committee, Black Bloc, British Columbia, Canada, CBC, Conspiracy, Council of Canadians, David Eby, FAIL, Politics, Violence

http://youtu.be/gAfzUOx53Rg This is real folks- in Canada, our government have been using Black Bloc tactics to discredit protest movements. We need a national inquiry! Equally, the Occupy movement should not tolerate Black Bloc tactics- they enable the police to infiltrate us…

A Letter to the CEO of Vancouver Coastal Health re: Attacks by Lorne Gill

By grenouf in #KeepingItClassy, Anti-Poverty Committee, British Columbia, Canada, Cortes Island, DTES, FAIL, Lauren Gill, Occupy Movement, Occupy Vancouver, Politics, Vancouver, Violence

Dear Dr. Ostrow, I am writing in reference to the behavior of one of your employees- Lauren Gill, who has misused her position as a mental health professional to attack me for political means… I met Lauren at Occupy Vancouver, and generally had good relations with her- I had even endorsed her campaign for city …

I met someone with an interesting persepctive while I was staying at the hostel in Victoria last week. He was from Mexico, from a political family, and had some relevant ideas to share with the Occupy movement. His words have been resonating in my head ever since we talked… I shared my experience setting-up the …

Follow-Up to My Posting on Black Bloc Terrorism…

It has been a few days since I posted my question about the Black Bloc– and, as expected, it seemed to have upset a person or two. It’s not that I have intended to offend them, I’d much rather write positive stories like the story in the Observer, or the Occupy Harper and Occupy Skytrain …
